The Sculpture area encourages flexible, creative sculptural responses as informed by individual experience. Courses aim to use sculpture as a medium that encourages an open exchange of ideas, facilitates communications and nurtures discovery. Courses also introduce computer-aided design with a fabrication component to facilitate the conception and transformation of sculptural concepts from the cyber world to the real world. Sculpture facilities include welding facilities with eight oxy-acetylene stations, four arc welders, one heliarc, three MIGs, one plasma arc cutter, a horizontal and a vertical band saw, drill press, a gas forge and a jump shear and finger break. The wood shop is fully equipped with lathes, band and table saws, a joiner, planer, sanders, air-powered chisels and grinders, and portable tools and equipment. The plaster studio provides supplies and materials to make moldspiece and rubberas well as work in direct plaster.
